Dream of the Red Chamber: Start by gaining Zhao Yun's martial prowess, and be ennobled in a sin

It turns out it's Jia Zheng!

Jia Zheng was originally chatting with Jia Cong, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan, who had just returned to the mansion, in his own small courtyard in the front.

Suddenly, a messenger arrived with a message from the maidservant, saying that Jia Baoyu had smashed the jade again in the old lady's room, and the Third Miss wanted him to come and handle the matter.

After learning what had happened, Jia Zheng was furious and stormed into Rongqing Hall!

After talking with Jia Huan and the other two, he already harbored a great deal of resentment towards Jia Baoyu.

Firstly, he learned from Jia Huan and Jia Cong about Jia Baoyu's various misdeeds at the clan school.

Not only are his grades in academic and physical subjects poor, but he also talks nonsense all the time, even saying that he won't go to school this time he's back!

Secondly, after learning about their experiences and Jia Jing's teachings from the three people, he deeply appreciated the value of this trip.

However, during this precious opportunity for Jia Jing to personally admonish all the young masters of the household, Jia Baoyu was the only one who did not go, which shows that his bad habits are hard to change and he is beyond redemption.

Needless to say,

This wretched child doesn't know how to love his sisters or work hard at home. Instead, he's caused this ridiculous trouble, making the whole household uneasy. He's simply courting death!

Then, when Jia Zheng hurried to Rongqing Hall, he happened to hear Lady Wang giving Tan Chun an unreasonable scolding.

This infuriated him so much that he felt his mind reeling, and he felt an endless rage burning in his chest, instantly burning away his reason and composure!

With such an unvirtuous wife and unfilial son, how can he possibly live on in this world?

Then, his face turned ashen with rage, and he roared, wishing he could die on the spot with Jia Baoyu!

At this moment, the room fell silent because of Jia Zheng's loud shout, and the expressions of Grandmother Jia, Lady Wang, and others changed drastically.

The already mentally challenged Baoyu was struck as if by lightning by this loud shout. He trembled all over and his eyes quickly snapped back to reality from Daiyu.

He glanced at Jia Zheng outside the door, and upon making eye contact, he sensed the intense killing intent emanating from Jia Zheng's eyes, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

I felt a chill rise from my tailbone and sweep across my whole body, while a surge of heat rose in my lower abdomen. I was so scared I almost peed my pants!

Aunt Xue, Sister Feng, Yuan Chun, Xiang Yun, Xing Xiuyan and others were also intimidated by Jia Zheng's fierce aura!

Seeing Jia Zheng quickly take a thick wooden stick from the servant behind him, roll up his sleeves, and rush into the room,

Grandmother Jia quickly shielded the trembling Jia Baoyu behind her, her aged face shifting several times before she exclaimed in surprise to Jia Zheng:

"Zheng'er! What are you doing? Baoyu is still a child!"

Seeing this, Yuan-chun worried that her father might actually beat Bao-yu to death in his rage, so she quickly stepped forward, took his arm, and whispered, "..."

"Father, please calm your anger. Although Baoyu deserves discipline, his crime does not warrant death!"

Lady Wang's fair complexion was now as white as snow, and all traces of the coldness she had shown when reprimanding Tan Chun were gone. She quickly knelt before Jia Zheng, hugged his leg, and cried out in a pitiful voice:

"While the master should discipline his son, he should also consider the relationship between husband and wife."

"I am now nearly fifty years old, and I only have this wicked child. I will surely follow his teachings with great difficulty, and I dare not offer any further advice."

"Today you're even more determined to kill him, aren't you deliberately trying to destroy me? If you're going to kill him anyway, why not kill me first, and then kill him?"

"We women dare not complain, for we have found solace in the underworld."

After saying this, she hugged Jia Zheng's leg and burst into tears.

Besides Jia Zhu, this was also a set of words that Lady Wang often used to persuade Jia Zheng to punish Jia Baoyu!

Jia Zheng's face contorted with rage, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. Ignoring everyone's attempts to dissuade him, he raised a wooden stick and growled:

"Nobody's stopping me today, I'm going to beat this good-for-nothing beast to death!"

"If anyone advises me again today, I will hand over all my family's official robes and hats to him and Baoyu."

"I'm bound to be a sinner. I'll shave off these troublesome hairs and find a clean place to end my life, so as to avoid disgracing my ancestors and giving birth to a rebellious son!"

"You beast, come and take your punishment!"

As Jia Zheng spoke, he roared at Jia Baoyu again!

In Rongqing Hall, you could hear a pin drop after Jia Zheng's words!

Facing Jia Zheng's menacing aura, Baoyu was so frightened that he trembled and could barely stand!

Upon seeing this, Grandmother Jia's face turned pale with shock and anger, and she trembled as she spoke in a hoarse voice:

"How could it have come to this? How could it have come to this..."

"It's just children playing around, why does it have to come to this! If you want to kill him, why not kill me first? Wouldn't that be cleaner?"

Looking at Jia Zheng, who was trembling with anger, Lady Wang cried and said in a trembling voice:

"Master, although Baoyu deserves to be beaten, he hasn't done anything heinous, and today's incident isn't entirely his fault."

"Besides, sir, you should also be mindful of your own conduct. It's the height of summer, and the old lady isn't feeling well either. It's a small matter if Baoyu is beaten to death, but if the old lady becomes unwell, wouldn't that be a much bigger problem!"

Yuan Chun looked worried, her gaze shifting back and forth between Grandmother Jia and Jia Zheng.

Upon hearing their words, Jia Zheng's refined face turned from red to white, and then from white to red again.

His vision blurred, a surge of anger and resentment welled up inside him, and he could no longer hold the wooden stick. He looked at Grandmother Jia with tears in his eyes and said dejectedly:

"I've already been unfilial by raising this beast, and I wanted to teach him a lesson, but you all always stop me. Mother, you're trying to drive your son to his death!"

As he spoke, Jia Zheng swayed, his already pale face turning ashen, and he looked as if he was about to fall backward.

Tan Chun, quick-witted and agile, saw that things were not going well, so she quickly stood up and rushed forward to help him.

This unexpected turn of events caused everyone present to gasp in surprise.

Second Master must not be so angry that he vomits blood and faints like last time, otherwise Baoyu's sins today will be truly great!

Seeing Jia Zheng so angry, tears welled up in Grandmother Jia's aged face as she choked back sobs and advised him:

"Why are you so angry! Baoyu was just being naughty for a moment, it's easy for you to scold or beat him."

"If you get so angry that you harm yourself in the slightest, where does that leave me as your mother?"

Although Jia Zheng is now disciplining Jia Baoyu, he is often stopped by Grandmother Jia, who even scolds him angrily.

But in fact, when Jia Daishan was disciplining Jia She and Jia Zheng, wasn't it Grandmother Jia who was protecting and stopping them?

Her love for Jia Zheng, her youngest son, was no less than that for anyone else, and her doting on Jia Baoyu was perhaps an example of loving the house because of the crow.

Furthermore, if it weren't for Grandmother Jia's unwavering protection of Jia Zheng back then, preventing him from suffering any hardship,

It would also have prevented him from developing his somewhat "naive and proper" personality! And it would have prevented the second wife from managing the Rongguo Mansion for so many years.

Therefore, seeing Jia Zheng so angry, Grandmother Jia was truly filled with sorrow and grief!

Lady Wang's voice also betrayed panic. Seeing Jia Zheng's deathly pale face and tears streaming down his face, she cried out:

"No matter how useless Baoyu may be, he is still just a child. Although he caused a bit of trouble today, it's nothing like he's about to die!"

"If the master hadn't been so determined to beat him to death this time, why would I have stopped him! Why do father and son act like enemies every time they meet!"

"I only have this one child. If you want to do something easy, please don't get angry."

"If anything were to happen to you, Baoyu would truly be guilty beyond redemption, bearing the stigma of being an unfilial son for the rest of his life!"
